Hi all,
I’m sure there will be a post on here with my related problem and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction if so.
Had a new 2.1dj engine fitted to my wagon and runs fine other than if on a long run I stop the engine for 5-10 minutes then try to start again no joy!
Engine just cranks over but doesn’t fire! Very frustrating.
Will start again once engine has cooled a little.
Please help!!

Re: Hot starting problems
Does it smell of petrol when it won’t start?
and when it does start does it smoke ?
check the connections and the condition of the wires onto and from the temp2 switch ( the second port on the thermostat housing that faces the wheel )

Many thanks Steve for your reply.
There is no petrol smell but will check the wires as you’ve mentioned from the thermostat.
Cheers

Re: Hot starting problems
May not be of any use but i had the same problem. My engine was a JX though to might be totally different. (I know nothing of petrol engines) Turns out it was the stop solenoid or more so, a poor connection to it. I could get her to start by touching the connection on the solenoid directly to the pos on the battery.
Like i said, might be of no use.
